Can I make a strawberry shortcake with frozen strawberries?
Lemon Strawberry Shortcake is one of my favorite desserts. I love the combining of the tart lemon with the sweetness of the strawberries. The shortcake itself is also delicious, a fluffy cake that soaks up the juice from the berries.
I typically make this dish with fresh strawberries, but I have wondered if frozen strawberries would work just as well. After doing some research, I found that frozen strawberries can actually be used to make a Lemon Strawberry Shortcake. The key is to thaw the berries before adding them to the cake. This will help to prevent the cake from becoming soggy. So, if you're looking for a way to use up those frozen strawberries, Lemon Strawberry Shortcake is a great option.
